Let me rephrase. My point is that him being a 3rd round pick, his past performance when on the field, PLUS the fact that he's really really cheap, is why he has a roster spot. Even if we stash him on IR.
I get that at some point, eventually it feels pointless. But he's not a "burden" on our team, so there's no reason to get rid of him beyond just being frustrated with him as fans.
You are way oversimplifying things. The reason to get rid of him is you cut a guy like Homer and risk losing him to another team because you kept Procise who could be on IR. A big reason the Hawks lost Alex Collins (he had one good year and one terrible one) is they decided to keep CJ instead.
FWIW I think you're right I would keep him -- but it's not that cut and dry.
For me it is. You guys are freaking out over a roster spot, as if that’s usually the beginning or end of the team. If he’s on IR, the roster spot is open. If he’s on the team, he’s healthy enough for potentially game breaking snaps.
Homer is a rookie, and I get that we’re excited over rookies. But what about Homer would make a coach want to keep him over CJ?
